At the GEOINT Symposium this year, Vice Admiral Robert Sharp, Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) gave praising remarks about the PGC (read his speech remarks here). He highlighted examples of great partnerships in action and having impact, one of NGA’s strategic goals. Our partnership and our high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM) were one of the examples mentioned. Director Sharp showed the ArcticDEM and REMA map posters and stated,
“These are so stunning, they look like wall art – and more importantly, they help us know the earth and understand the world in ways we hadn’t until we pulled all these great minds together.”
